  world hopes for a 'less arrogant america'william j. kole and matt moore, associated press writers william j. kole and matt moore, associated press writers 2 hrs 8 mins ago</form> ap a basketball scoreboard shows the date of tuesday's election at the site of an obama-biden rally at longview berlin the world was riveted by the election drama unfolding tuesday in the united states, inspired by barack obama or simply relieved that whoever wins the bush administration was coming to an end.. from berlin's brandenburg gate to the small town of obama, japan, the globe geared up to celebrate a fresh start for america.. in germany, where more than 200,000 flocked to see obama this summer as he moved to burnish his foreign policy credentials during a trip to the middle east and europe, the election dominated television ticker crawls, newspaper headlines and web sites.. hundreds of thousands prepared to party through the night to watch the outcome of an election having an impact far beyond america's shores.

  among the more irreverent festivities planned in paris: a "goodbye george" party to bid farewell to bush.. "like many french people, i would like obama to win because it would really be a sign of change," said vanessa doubine, shopping tuesday on the champs-elysees.

  "i deeply hope for america's image that it will be obama.".

  Personal finance point #2: the perils of short-term trading for high profit

  by JimmyPage in

  1. jw

  the perils of following an approach that advocates short-term trading with the allure of high profits are numerous:.

  you're going to rack up enormous brokerage commissions.. on occasions where your short-term trades produce a profit, you pay high ordinary income tax rates rather than the far lower capital gains rate for investments held more than 12 months.. you're not going to make big profits- quite the reverse.

  if you stick with this approach, you'll underperform the market averages.. you're going to make yourself a nervous wreck.

  Your trading style should depend on your own tolerance for risk, not someone else's.

  There is room for both short and long term trading. I do both.

  As for options, those can be used very effectively for long term profits.

  Out of the money calls purchased 6-12 months out can make you some decent money.

  saturday, oct. 25, 2008which religion picks the best stocks?by david van biemahttp://www.time.com/time/business/article/0,8599,1853756,00.html.

  which faith plays the market best when it seems headed for the financial equivalent of purgatory?

  that may sound like a whimsical question, but there are, in fact, mutual funds tailored to a number of religions and denominations.

  If you think this idiot is "everyman", then you're off your rocker.. he sounds like an uneducated fool, and when this interview was going on, I was laughing and thinking how our founding fathers only wanted land owners to vote at first. I can understand their point of view.
  
  "Joe the Plumber" don't know his ass from a hole in the ground when it comes to politics! I don't want "Joe the plumber" speaking for me, I want someone with an education.
  
  "Joe the plumber" may know how to fix a broken water pipe, but he's an idiot when it comes to politics.

  Dawg, you are just an ex-j.w. who knows nothing, and will never know anything, about the ways of the world. I grew up in the world, not in the truth, and most of you are completely out of your league. Warlock

  "Were any of the stocks on the "banned" list immune to Monday's sell-off of 777 points?"

  Well, yes to a large extent. They were certainly immune to shorting. As far as the sell-off, I haven't looked at those stocks specifically, but I'd imagine that they were already so beaten down in the market that, in general, they didn't suffer another almost 8pt drop on Monday.

  They went down, along with everyone else.

  "Short sellers expose the weak, and when they try to prey on the strong, they are crushed."

  Research exposes the weak. That aside, we can't really afford for our entire banking system to fail simply because it is "weak", now can we?

  The short sellers started selling the bank stocks down before the "research" identified there was a problem. A big problem, and yes, the banking system must be allowed to fail. Intervention, like banning short selling will only prolong that failure and make it worse.

  "That is how the markets work, like it, or not."

  Actually, the market works just fine w/o short selling. I'm glad that at least temporarily, the powers that be decided "no, the market won't work this way, and we don't like it". They certainly shut you up, didn't they ;)

  The powers that be rigged the game, but they can't keep it that way forever without causing a big problem to get much bigger, but how did they "shut me up"?

  You haven't really proved your titles premise Warlock.

  Are you aware of some data that says the short selling rule has hurt the market in any way shape or form? No, of course you aren't. Because short selling is at best a non-issue, an activity that ads nothing of value, and at worst, it can exacerbate crisis. I'm not sure, from other replies you've made, whether you even know exactly what short selling was suspended.

  Short sellers expose the weak, and when they try to prey on the strong, they are crushed.

  That is how the markets work, like it, or not.
